HPE Composable Fabric Manager software, which understands the physical and logical network topology, as well as the application and data workload requirements, establishes a network, where individual workloads receive their own portion of the network at each network layer.

Dynamic Topologies

In conjunction with the centralized HPE Composable Fabric Manager platform, HPE Composable Fabric provides intelligent and adaptive technology that ensures workloads always have access to the most optimal network paths.

HPE Composable Fabric Manager provides both the integration platform, as well as a set of HPE-developed API level integrations that automate workflows based on the included sensors, actions and triggers for 3rd party orchestration systems.

HPE Composable Fabric connectivity modules intelligently select the best network paths for workloads that have resource requirements or explicit constraints defined by the integrations.

Less sensitive workloads without explicitly defined constraints are efficiently forwarded across the available direct and indirect paths created by the network fabric. Based on HPE residual fit algorithms, HPE Composable Fabric Manager dynamically fits non-affinitized traffic.

Scale Out, Not Up

HPE Composable Fabric FM 2072 physically interconnect using its QSFP ports to create a very dense, full or partial mesh between connectivity modules. This creates a more cost effective and power efficient network architecture than traditional tree or leaf-and-spine hierarchical networks can achieve.

The linear build-out offers predictable economics and capacity growth in true scale-out fashion. With an out of the box default access to fabric oversubscription ratio of 2:1, the FM 2072 provides cost-effective performance for up to 48 10GbE server and storage connections.
